try checking the "keep launch connection open" attribute for the Windows app in the Object Manager. More info here:

Hi all.

We are running an sgd 4.31 array with with two members. Unix connections with xterms work wonderfully. However, we are having problems with windows connections.

We have an application called Westpoint Bridge Designer. It models bridge design and simulates load on the bridge. It appeared to work fine in the past (last semester) and I'm not sure what might have changed.

Our problem is that as soon as you click on the application in the users webtop, the application shows its splash screen and then immediately disappears. Looking at the webtop, it still displays the suspend and resume controls as if the application is still running, and if you click on the green resume arrow, the main (right) area of the webtop shows the sgd loading screen with the progress indicator that sweeps back and forth. Then, sgd displays the bridge app again. Displays that is, until you click something, and then the process starts again.

Running the application from rdesktop with a full windows session the bridge designer app works perfectly. Furthermore, bridge designer is not the only windows application with this problem. Also published are matlab and mathmatica, and each act in a simular fashion.

At the end of last semester we took our two windows terminal servers and put them into a terminal server array. We are now capable of addressing the entire terminal server array with a windows.cens.nau.edu name, and each still respond to their individual hostnames. SGD uses individual hosts with the windows load balancer/seamless window provider to perform its own load balancing, and I don't see how the windows array business should affect sgd.

I've tried to log sgd when the windows application disappears and I've attached that log. It starts with a "MUPP close request" which makes it sound as if sgd itself is closing the connection to the windows server.

If anyone has any recommendations I'm all ears. I'm currently out of ideas of what to try next.

Thanks,
